Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on engineering technologies students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other engineering technologies students want to attend this school to pursue a master's degree.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for engineering technologies to pay back their student loans after receiving their master's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized engineering technologies related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for engineering technologies students working on their master's degree.
